The Company leases certain equipment, automobiles, manufacturing and office space under operating leases, which are non-cancelable and expire on various dates through fiscal 2020. Rental expense for all operating leases was $2.7 million, $2.8 million and $2.6 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The operating lease amount includes our contractual facility lease obligation at Chelmsford, Massachusetts plant, which will be closed in the fourth quarter of 2016 as a part of the Company’s plan to streamline its manufacturing and development activities.
